Yet another female teacher has sex with student *pic*

[Prosperity]

You're deciding legal cases based on emotion. IMHO, that's not the way to go.

that's not entirely correct

using emotion as in understanding the emotional context of the crime is entirely different than using your own emotions to judge the crime

our emotions may be irrelevant, but THEIRS is definitely relevant

[RonBurgundy&Gold]

The teacher should be punished as she was well aware of the consequences of such actions.

However you can't tell me that a 17 year old doesnt know exactly what he/she is doing when it comes to situations like this.

[DoGood28]

slept with a teacher?

Been there, done that.

Only guy I know who can say that with a straight face.

But the issue here is treating cases differently based solely on the sexes of those involved. There's no possible way to justify that.

Sub "sex" with "race" if you need help seeing the ridiculousness of it all. (Not you personally, I mean in general.)

[DeanCollins]

if you think that there's anything remotely equal about what it takes to get in a girls pants compared to what it takes to get into a guys pants, or that there is anything remotely equal about the possible effects / ramifications of it, you're nuts.

you know better. but you've drawn your usual line in the sand, it's black and white to you when reality says otherwise.

Major, why are you all hopped up about this? Your daughter is going to have sex, might as well be with someone that can Teacher a few things.

Seriously, I think what H_H was referring to was that the female teacher will get probation and a slap on the wrist, while the male teacher gets jail time, felony conviction, labeled sex offender for the rest of his life...
Not talking the "victims" here. btw, chill out will ya'

I get your argument, I think it is probably legitimate, but there is also the flip side which says that there is probably a really big difference between male and female sexuality, and we shouldn't ignore that just because it would be more convenient in the legal sense.

I'd say there are really differences between the genders due to biological reasons, but difference between races is almost entirely socially constructed

I'm not gonna jack this thread anymore, but if you want to explore this further in the thread with the poll, that's cool with me.

[Henry]

right, because it's that black and white.

you have a 15 year old daughter. her teacher has sex with her.

you have a 15 year old son. he has sex with his teacher.

you can not convince me your feelings would be the same.

for the former, you're pulling out rifles.

for the latter, you're wanting to high five and chest bump, at least deep down inside.

Why?

Do you think 15 year old boys more mature about sex and relationships than 15 year old girls? Are they more emotionally stable? Less prone to emotional manipulation by an adult?

[Cherick]

Dammit!!

My female teachers were either really fat, or really ugly, or sometimes both.

true this....I have a 15 year old son.....dude is as emotionally stable as he was when he was 7 years old.

[Kunia5]

There has to be a new qualification to be a female public school teacher. You have to be a post-menopausal hag.

the emotions surrounding sex are different for boys and girls.

i see where people are going with this, i just don't think it's cut and dry. maybe hog is right, the punishment for the crime should be. but as far as the ramifications for the "victims", it's totally different.

you don't have to manipulate a 15 year old boy to sleep with a 20 year old woman. the other way around, it's different. and so are the effects.

Not to self-promote, but I really would like to see your opinion in the other thread, Maj.

Not looking for a fight, just curious.

i'm not hopped up. i don't have a daughter (thank you jesus)

i know what hog is referring to. i guess my stance is, it's not some boogie monster conspiracy to punish men. there are reasons behind it.

he may be right that it's wrong, i don't know. but i do know it's not black and white, there are reasons. whether those reasons are justified, that's what's up for debate.

as to your last line, i'm a pretty chill dude, i don't know where you get that all the time, mr. i let extremeskins work me up so much i took a long term ban to cool off.

So because it's easier to get a 15 year-old boy to sleep with you it's ok? You don't think a 15-year old boy is as easy to manipulate using sex because a boy supposedly likes sex more?

Yes, I agree that teenage boys and girls likely view sex differently but they are both still kids. And authority figures are still authority figures.

I asked this the last time one of these threads popped up:

What if a 15 year old boy had sex with a MALE teacher. Would that be time for high-fiving?

After all, boys want it more then girls do.
